Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:519-566 (handler)The handler function that executes the search_by_uniprot tool logic. It validates input, constructs a query for RCSB search API using UniProt ID, fetches results, and returns formatted JSON or error.private async handleSearchByUniprot(args: any) { if (!args || typeof args.uniprot_id !== 'string') { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Invalid UniProt search arguments'); } try { const searchQuery = { query: { type: "terminal", service: "text", parameters: { attribute: "rcsb_polymer_entity_container_identifiers.reference_sequence_identifiers.database_accession", operator: "exact_match", value: args.uniprot_id } }, return_type: "entry", request_options: { paginate: { start: 0, rows: args.limit || 25 }, results_content_type: ["experimental"] } }; const response = await this.rcsb_apiClient.post('/query', searchQuery); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error searching by UniProt: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } }
- src/index.ts:284-291 (schema)Input schema defining parameters for the search_by_uniprot tool: uniprot_id (required string) and optional limit.inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { uniprot_id: { type: 'string', description: 'UniProt accession number' }, limit: { type: 'number', description: 'Number of results to return (1-1000, default: 25)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['uniprot_id'], },
- src/index.ts:281-292 (registration)Tool registration in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.{ name: 'search_by_uniprot', description: 'Find PDB structures associated with a UniProt accession', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { uniprot_id: { type: 'string', description: 'UniProt accession number' }, limit: { type: 'number', description: 'Number of results to return (1-1000, default: 25)', minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 }, }, required: ['uniprot_id'], }, },
- src/index.ts:317-318 (registration)Dispatch case in CallToolRequest handler that routes to the search_by_uniprot handler function.case 'search_by_uniprot': return this.handleSearchByUniprot(args);
